Trump administration expands restrictions on U.S. funding for international health care providers that perform or promote abortion—an expansion of a policy critics say is having a devastating effect on rural health care in developing countries.
The policy, named for President Ronald Reagan's announcement in Mexico, has been rescinded by successive Democrat presidents and re-implemented by Republicans since its inception. It originally blocked any U.S. funds for global health from going to NGOs that worked in family planning and reproductive health.
Now, the administration is trying to close the gap even further, according to Pompeo, by refusing to provide funds to any group that gives money to other groups that perform or provide information about abortions. A State Department spokesperson later told ABC News the amount rescinded was $210,000 -- a "proportional share of possible OAS costs" for the action at question, according to the statement.
